In 2023, Romania led European engineered wood exports to non-EU countries with 762.81 thousand cubic meters but saw a slight contraction of 1.47% year-on-year. Germany, Spain, and Latvia followed, with Spain and Latvia exhibiting significant growth at 7.58% and 44.92%, respectively. Ireland recorded remarkable growth with an increase of 130.57%. Conversely, Belgium experienced a decline of 36.41%, and Northern Europe, represented by countries like Sweden and Finland, showed negative trends at -9.2% and -7.1%, respectively.
Future trends indicate a potential expansion in Eastern Europe and the Iberian Peninsula, while traditional markets in Northern Europe may continue to face challenges. The rising demand for sustainable construction materials and the push for greener portfolios are expected to influence export dynamics favorably, particularly for countries like Romania and Spain.
